Kids Away-Parents Play

I marinated steak, bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, & cherry tomatoes for 5 hours & then assembled 40 some shishkabobs. Alan BBQ'd them up for me. I made rice, a couple appetizers, & 20 some jello shots. Ive never even had a jello shot. Sounds pretty immature college like behavior but yah its ok - no drinking & driving going on. I dont think the jello shots were intoxicating as much as they were filling. Mine were in these 10 oz plastic cups I had leftover from a bday party - so you had to eat them with a spoon. LOL! Had pineapple jello w/ coconut rum, orange jello with whipped cream flavored vodka, stawberry jello with spiced rum, and peace jello with whipped cream vodka.
We had Shawn Brewster & his girlfriend Dana Richardson over ....grew up with both of them since Grade School on up. Randy Johnson & his wife Kirsten, same deal grew up with Randy all my life....Kirsten didnt attend EHS with us all but its as if she did because she knows everyone in the town. Real sweetheart! Of course Danny & Jen Hopkins were there...no get together is complete without them. Lets see...Shawn & Kirsten had never sang karaoke before but we corrupted them & had them singing multiple times! It was great! Who knew Mr. Shy Randy was actually George Strait? I was so impressed. He swooned his wife with all sorts of oldies. Dana knew how to belt several songs out & was a ton of fun to be around! Danny & Alan did their traditional Willie Nelson & Toby Keith Duet....Danny & I butchered some oldies from our little era, and Jen brought down the house with the first rap song of the night. Fun times...lots of talking, eating, laughing, & catching up. Oh almost forgot the highlight of the evening was when I turned off all the lights & stood singing my "signature song" with the light of the tv karaoke screen illuminating my happy fat face :-) LOL - good times!
